Ryan Gosling in various states of undress. Richard Gere and Julia Roberts getting down on the piano. Edward and Bella breaking the bed. Why resort to lady porn when you have Hollywood's sexiest movies just a Netflix click away? Let us know what saucy flicks turn you on in the comments...

In which Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson get it on in a laundry room. No, they don't use the buzzing washing machine as a gigantic vibrator (missed opportunity), but still hot to see Patrick in full thrust mode.

In fact, getting to third base on a roller coaster might be treacherous. But when Marky Mark and Reese Witherspoon pull it off in Fear — to the sweet sounds of The Sundays' "Wild Horses" — it was an eye-opening moment for each of us. Nicole forever!

Speaking of Reese "American Citizen" Witherspoon, several Cosmo staffers would like to report that seeing Reese lose her virginity to Ryan/Sebastian led directly to their having sex for the first time. So, thanks?

All told, it was pretty cheesy, but they broke the bed, you guys! And this is the closest we'll get to Twilight porn. Actually we take that back because Fifty Shades of Grey is EDWARD/BELLA FAN FICTION! Just a friendly reminder.

At once a tearjerker and nether region tickler, RyGos and Rach's post-rain sex is one for the books, from his furtive pantyhose yank to the wall slam heard 'round the world. [Insert "soaking wet" joke here.]

You may know Mickey Rourke as someone who does not arouse you, but let it be known that back in the day he was a stud who ran through the entireCosmo Kama Sutra with Kim Basinger in this kinky flick for the ages. Dude was essentially the original Christian Grey, blindfolding Basinger and tantalizing her with an ice cube.

Phil Collins's "In the Air Tonight" is playing. There is aggressive thigh caressing. Tom Cruise, not yet a scientologist, puts his hand up Rebecca DeMornay's skirt. And they're on an empty train the whole time. Trust us, it works.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Scarlet Johansson are both maniacs in this movie, but there's something about their forbidden, highly charged, apartment-ruining sex that just does it for us in a super-sick way.

If stranger sex in public restrooms is your thang (no judgment), this is the naughty movie for you. Olivier Martinez and Diane Lane embark on a torrid, torrid affair in which they cannot keep their paws off each other.

Gyllenhaal and Hathaway bare all (and by all we mean, her perky boobs and his supple butt) in this rom-com. Next to riding in his vicinity at SoulCycle, this halfway decent movie will be the closest you'll get the sexing Jake yourself.
